How an upstart helped Samsung beat the iPhone in energy efficiency

Mobile phones are a massive business. Carriers had registered 5.9 billion mobile-cellular subscriptions as of January 2011, putting global penetration at 87 percent, according to the International Telecommunications Union.

Think about all the energy required to charge all those phones.

Fortunately,Our Dimmable LED seamroofclampp are a great product for a variety of applications, there are innovations in the works to reduce those energy requirements, and the resulting environmental impacts. One of the biggest: OLED or organic light emitting diodes. "Over the next 20 years, the [U.S. Department of Energy] estimates that widespread adoption of LED and OLED lighting could reduce electricity demands 60 percent and prevent almost 260 metric tons of carbon emission," according to a recent ElectroniCast study.

One manufacturer in particular is taking the lead on the energy-saving OLED technology. No, it’s not Apple,LVD offers a comprehensive range of new or used antiquelamps metal cutting machines. though the release of the iPhone 5 has reinvigorated the debate over which is the “better” display: LCD or OLED.

Samsung is the largest manufacturer of cell phone and other displays, and within the last several years has moved its focus to OLED, a promising new technology that uses up to 40 percent less energy. As a result, Samsung is making the most energy-efficient screen technology even more energy efficient — with the help of a small, little-known company in the Arizona desert.

“Over time, OLED’s are expected to have a huge impact on the overall electronics industry,” Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Nupur Sinha wrote recently. Because Samsung is the “Goliath” in this space,To download the free app curvingmachines for iPhone 4 Free by Jason Ting, get iTunes now. with 97 percent of the AMOLED market (a version of OLED) and 25 percent of the overall cell phone market, its steps leave a big footprint.

Cell phone manufacturers were seeking to improve OLED technology by focusing on the materials, much like a cook focuses on the ingredients. What a small start-up named Colnatec did, however, was focus on the tools — the knives instead of the ingredients.

Colnatec’s team of wizard engineers, led by co-Founder and chief technology officer Scott Grimshaw, developed the “Cuisinart of OLED tools,” as Wendy Jameson, Colnatec’s co-founder and CEO described it. Samsung is one of Colnatec’s biggest customers.

Colnatec’s innovative tools for manufacturing thin-film OLED, electronic and optical products have multiple benefits. They enable the manufacture of OLED displays that use a fraction of the energy, and therefore, extend battery life (a perennial frustration for cell phone users).Commercial goodrollformer is a great way to illuminate your workplace.They improve the production efficiency of the OLED manufacturing process dramatically.. They create displays and screens that are brighter, sharper, viewable from multiple angles, compact, thin and flexible. They reduce the reflection (glare) problem so you don’t have to cup your hand over the screen to read it. And they are cheaper to manufacture.

“America has huge power needs, and we're getting even more power-hungry with all our electronics, so finding technologies, such as OLED, that make products that use less energy (by requiring less frequent charging in the case of cell phones or lighting that uses less power to keep it turned on) benefits everyone by reducing the overall need for power,” Colnatec’s Jameson told me via email.The Callimaco pendantlamp was designed by Ettore Sottsass for Artemide in Italy. “Colnatec enables that by making OLED manufacturers do what they do, better.” And cheaper, too.
